2022 Chesapeake shooting

On November 22, 2022, Andre Marcus Bing killed six co-workers and injured four others before taking his own life, in retaliation for perceived workplace harassment at the Walmart Supercenter where he worked as a night-supervisor in Chesapeake, Virginia, United States.

[3][4][1][5] Bing's suicide note cited concern he was being "led by Satan" and asking forgiveness – while also mentioning cancer treatments and loneliness.

[15] Six Walmart employees were killed: Randy Blevins, 70; Fernando Chavez-Barron, 16; Tyneka Johnson, 22; Lorenzo Gamble, 43; Brian Pendleton, 38; and Kellie Pyle, 52.

[21][11] The scene was declared safe by law enforcement about an hour after the first reports at 11:20 p.m.[9] The gunman was night-shift manager Andre Marcus Bing (May 1, 1991 – November 22, 2022).

[1][2] He was a resident of Chesapeake who previously lived in Suffolk, Norfolk, and Virginia Beach as well as Queens, New York, and San Angelo, Texas.

Mayor Rick West also issued a statement the next morning offering his prayers to the families and thanks to the quick actions of first responders.
